Super Star Soldier

Surely you remember all those great vertical shooters that made the turbografx so cool in its day? My friend Opi, who runs a great TG16 site called Engineshock, suggested I remix one of those old shooters . . so I sat down and played a little super star soldier, and gave it my best. The name is kinda weird, but it's supposed to suggest that this ReMix is more rave/hardcore oriented, and sounds MUCH MUCH BETTER at high volumes. This uses some of the new sounds I've recently gotten, which I'm quite happy with, as they do a pretty decent job of "emulating" old analogue synths . . . enough talk, leech it, crank it, & do a funky little chicken dance around your room . . then go play some SSS.

So from what I can tell, this song is kinda repetitive - nice ideas, just wish there was some more variation and expansion.

There's a hell of a lot crammed into this mix. And a prime example of how to deliver a repetitive source in an exciting way. And even though something like this wouldn't seem out of place in an actual game soundtrack from last-gen, it's a great standalone track because of its variation and energy. Synths are pleasant and safe, as per pretzel usual, and it has one of those amazing dithering solos that I adore.
It's one of those awesome mixes which has no valleys; its all buildup and tearing downhill, which makes it a blast to listen to. Take note: this is how you DO it!

The intro comes off strong, fast, and furious, and so is the rest of the song.
The ending was kind of weird. One would think such an explosive song would go out with a bang instead of just fading out.
Fast, peppy, interesting, changing.
Not exactly one of my favorites, but it is a great mix worth checking out.

A rocking classic djpretzel track that always has intensity permeating it. The short break just seems to threaten the return of the main beat with a vengeance.
The solo synth at 2:00 is a great touch that always gets me.
Definitely have to agree that this mix must be blasted. Its power is maximum.

enjoyable from beginning to end. i feel like some thick strings or pads throughout would have really filled out the sound.
the last 80-100 seconds worth is rocking. didn't care too much for the fadeout but its not a big deal. nice :nicework: solo

Too bad I have to listen to this quietly because there are people asleep in my house. Later today this will be BLASTED!

I've been a fan of this mix forever and i'm kindof sad that there arent more reviews for it.
[b]ENERGY[/b]- TO THE MAXIMUM!
[b]BEATS[/b]- ROUGH AND TOUGH! (with a little break in the middle for those of you who need a breather)
[b]SYNTHS[/b]- DELICIOUS! POTENTIALLY NUTRITIOUS!
[b]SOLO[/b]- PRETTY GOOD! JUST GLAD IT'S THERE!
This is complete old school ass-kicking goodness, and all you star soldier wannabes need to download this onto your wii, crank this song, maybe do DJP's funky chicken dance (optional), and start blowing shit up.
Recommended.

I wouldn't change a thing.

This is awsome its the same music thats on this cell phone game. I always thought it would be kick ass if some one could remix it.

Cool & Danceable. Good Rhymes!!

Shweet stuff from DJP.
Not his best ever, but shweet. I don't like the little bit of off-beat synths in this one, though. All in all, good. Get it for a fun little listen. ^^

Kick ass! I loved the old days back when there were more good games than bad. You can't say that nowadays! Anyway DJP's Super Star Soldier mix is jammin'. I imagine that if this was ever released for the CD-ROM attachment (it may have been, I dunno) that the music would be similar to this. Hell this is probably better because a lot of the PC Engine CD music had a knack for being too thin or "lite". The weird solo in the last third of the song is, well, weird! All in all I like it!
